"The collection doesn't consist entirely of songs, by any means: the great Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté work their instrumental magic on "Simbo," and Virginia Mukwesha is hypnotic on the mbira (thumb piano) -- she also has the entire bonus disc devoted to her work. Saba offers a subdued take on the traditional "Huwaiahuwa," a song that has almost Celtic cadences for a truly international feel".

"Vurdering: Good" - "A decently somniferous assortment. But would you go to sleep while Miriam Makeba was singing to you? I should think not. The accompanying album of Virginia Mukwesha's mbira is for a deeper land of Nod experience entirely".
